What to know locally in Randburg
Pruning along the 4th Avenue end of Linden and the streets of Fontainebleau is often about cables: branches growing into overhead lines must be dealt with by the power utility or an authorised team, not a homeowner. In gardens near Delta Park and on the Northcliff koppie, look for indigenous trees worth keeping and ask an arborist about thinning rather than removing them.
Randburg: trees, weather and gardens
Randburg mixes older suburbs with mature gardens and the rocky koppies of the northern Johannesburg ridges. Linden, Blairgowrie and Ferndale were planted with jacarandas, oaks, pines and bluegums in the middle of the last century, and those trees now crowd small stands and overhead cables. Northcliff Ridge and the koppies around Bromhof carry indigenous bush, including white stinkwood and wild olive, that should be checked before anyone cuts. Thunderstorms roll across the ridges from the west most summer afternoons, and lightning strikes are common on high ground. The usual requests are trimming over roofs and cables, removing dying pines, and grinding stumps in small gardens. Pavement trees here generally belong to the city.
Who asks for tree pruning around Randburg, most often first:
- Homeowners: deadwooding old shade trees and pruning fruit trees so they stay safe and productive
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: keeping old trees in common areas healthy with a planned pruning cycle
- Businesses and commercial property: keeping hotel, lodge and office trees safe over guests, staff and parked cars
